About:
tmux is a terminal multiplexer that enables multiple virtual terminals to be created within a single terminal window. It allows users to split a terminal into panes and manage multiple sessions, persisting running applications even when the user disconnects. This tool is essential for maintaining long-running processes and organizing complex development workflows.
|
Key Features:
- Session persistence: Detach and reattach sessions from any location
- Window and pane splitting: Divide terminals into multiple regions
- Multiplexing: Run multiple terminal sessions from a single window
- Scriptable: Configure and control via command line
- Vi/Emacs key bindings: Supports familiar navigation modes
|
Use Cases:
- Managing long-running server processes or builds on remote machines
- Organizing multiple development projects and tools in split panes
- Pair programming by sharing a single terminal session
- Maintaining workflow state over unstable network connections
|
Alternatives:
-
screen
– Older GNU utility with similar features but less modern configuration
-
zellij
– Modern alternative with Rust implementation and built-in plugin system
-
iTerm2
– macOS terminal emulator with some multiplexing features, but not a tmux replacement
